Probably wouldn’t stay again :(
This is a hard one for me to review. Overall we were disappointed. Mainly due to comfort level. The location was fantastic, breakfast very nice and staff was friendly. It definitely has an old spooky feel, which I don’t mind, but just be aware of what you are walking into. My main issues were that the attic suite we were in was very stuffy and warm. Windows only opened a little and the AC was switched over to hear so we had very little relief. No ceiling fans. Being in the attic made it tough, and uncomfortable. Second issue is the bathroom and shower, very tiny and shower stall was crazy small. Curtain wrapped all around you while showering and barely able to bend over or move. The last minor issue is that the only mirror ( small one) was in the bathroom. For a couple getting ready a second mirror would be a great addition. I don’t think I’d stay here again but with some improvements I think the location and history of the building would make it a great choice.

We had a great stay. The property has a lot of older charm. The hospitality was wonderful and we really enjoyed how conveniently it was located to the main downtown area. It also helped that we had a guest parking spot. The breakfast each morning was amazing. We would for sure stay here again if we are in the area!

This was our first time staying at a bed & breakfast and Stratford did not disappoint. Everything was beautiful. Breakfast was delicious. And it was conveniently located to all Bar Harbor had to offer. Highly recommend!

We stayed at 3 different bed and breakfasts that trip and we were disappointed at our Stratford stay. I understand that it is under new ownership so maybe they haven't had a chance to make it feel cozy yet. It was pretty stark in decor. The breakfasts were fine. It does have a good location and hopefully they will make efforts to make it feel more homey!

Our stay at the Stratford in Bar Harbor was nothing short of excellent. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Anne and the staff were helpful with dining recommendations and knowledgeable of the area. We had a delicious breakfast each morning. The entire house is impeccably clean and we felt very safe during our stay. It was wonderful having off street parking next to the house. We were able to walk easily into Bar Harbor for shopping, dining and to catch the free shuttle service into Acadia National Park. Highly recommend staying at the Stratford.

Amazing stay at the Stratford!
Our stay was amazing! I can’t think of any thing that would have made our stay better. Hostess presented outstanding dishes at breakfast! Several different recipes were provided and each guest selected the dish they preferred. The room was very clean, comfortable, and filled with amazing family antiques. The Stratford is located a couple of blocks from downtown which is a perfect location to explore Bar Harbor or drive several miles to Arcadia. We would recommend The Stratford to everyone and would definitely stay there again!

Stratford is an elegant gem in downtown Bar Harbor. Just a few minutes to the village green, shops and restaurants. Wonderful, attentive owner and staff. I highly recommend Stratford - don’t miss it!

Our stay at The Stratford was nothing but amazing. Before arriving at the Inn, we were sent an extensive list of dining options for all price ranges and lunch/ dinner options to choose from. Each room had its own parking spot numbered according to your room, which was conveniently on the property. Anne greeted us with a warm welcome during our later afternoon arrival. She showed us around the property and explained to us the included breakfast for the following morning. Because we had planned for an early whale watching trip the following morning, we had to forego the breakfast but we’re provided with a to go breakfast bag that included a breakfast sandwich a homemade baked good and a piece of fruit. Coffee was brewed promptly at 7am with an all day keurig option available as well. The room was very cozy and well kept. We did not participate in the evening wine and cheese, as we were often on the go, but loved chatting with Anne in passing. The property was conveniently located in walking distance from the downtown bar harbor area and only a quick drive to Acadia National park. We would recommend this stay to anyone and would stay ourselves again in the future!

Nice, clean and tasty (food and decoration).
Very cozy and classical bed and breakfast hotel. The hotel is decorated with many English style old furniture and art pieces. The breakfast is different and freshly cooked every day and you can choose what you want the day before. Eating breakfast in a beautiful dinning room and chat with other tenants is very nice. Would definitely recommend.
